Bike Messengers at Your Beck and Call

Say hello to Urban Delivery, a new app-based service that lets you get anything delivered within an
hour via bike, available now.

We won’t make this into more than it is. It’s a team of bike messengers that you summon via smartphone
any time of day or night. Simple enough. And yet, the possibilities...

Say you suddenly decide to have a clambake in your backyard. For breakfast. But you really can’t trust
last night’s guests alone in your house unsupervised. So you’ll pull up this app, then tell them
you’ll need a shovel and a bushel of clams and some eggs, and where you’d like them to procure these
items.

They’ll dispatch a messenger, who’ll even pay for it all and charge it to your account in the app. Then
you can track said messenger’s progress toward your house.

Just remember the two criteria: your quarry has to be a) for sale in the city and b) able to be carried on a
bike.
